Estim.ai: AI-powered takeoff automation
AI Projects
Information
In a context where Quebec’s construction and manufacturing sectors face increasingly complex demands, a shortage of estimators, and non-standardized processes, the new Quebec software Estim.ai automates critical steps of the estimation process: reading PDF plans and specifications, automatic quantity/BOM takeoff, custom training, version and addenda traceability, and ERP integrations.
The result: shorter bidding timelines, fewer errors, better margin control, and standardization at scale.
Automatic extraction of plans, dimensions, and relevant legends from large PDF files. The AI focuses only on what matters to you.
Component extraction
The AI automatically detects and extracts construction elements directly from your plans — identifying the symbols, shapes, and configurations essential for estimation.
Specification extraction
The AI analyzes texts, notes, and addenda in your bid documents to extract key information that impacts estimation — such as components, conditions, and special clauses.
Time savings
Estimators save 40–60% of their time in information extraction and takeoff document creation.
